A few hours later, Cheng Tianbi came back, and Cong Zhenzhong just woke up. While they had dinner, they discussed the situation on Cao Zhixian's side.

Cong Zhenzhong slept for a few hours, and his face looked much better. He asked, "Commander Cao is having a headache now, right? He is now sending people to sprinkle medicine all over the city. Xu Ying pretends to be very similar, and is also sending people to sprinkle them."

Cheng Tianbi nodded, "He said that Xu Ying sent his guard chief to find him once this morning and made some requests. He was ambitious. Xu Ying's biggest purpose was to divide the Beijing city with the Academy of Sciences as the center and east-west."

Cong Zhenzhong slapped the table, "What? Divide? Does he really treat Beijing as his own?"

Cheng Tianbi said coldly: "Xu Ying treats Beijing as his own and wants to manage it separately. In the future, the only scientific research resources in science should be shared. He will control the resources he has obtained by himself. He will not interfere with the other party's governance and leadership methods. Let's see who can really lead the capital well. The most troublesome thing is that although Commander Cao is still clear-headed and knows that he can't do this, I can see that he is already a little shaken in his heart, even though he didn't say it."

"You must not do this! It was a time when resources were short, and you still had to be one and two halves, which would seriously hinder our development. Beijing City is not the spoils of any army to play the power struggle. It is the last hope of this country, and even the hope of all mankind. Although the situation in the past was in constant trouble, whether it was the two army, the second and third districts, they all started from the overall situation, and there were many cooperations. Once divided, these cooperations would never be there again. Resources were limited. Whoever grabbed them would use them, the situation between the east and the west would only become more and more rigid, and in the end, there would definitely be hostility inevitable. I always thought that although Xu Ying was greedy for power, he still had a view of the overall situation in essence, and like everyone else, he put the reconstruction of human beings first. I didn't expect that he was so confused. According to my understanding of him, he was not like this before, and he must have been brainwashed by Zhuang Yu."

Tang Tingzhi said: "Commander Xu was not such a person before. He was arrogant and arrogant than anyone else. He did not allow his career to be stained. Even if he was facing him because of disagreement, he would never use a violation of discipline to achieve his goals. Commander Cao was much more sleeker than him in the past. However, Commander Xu was terrible. Once he decided a little, no one could persuade him. You are right. He was brainwashed by Zhuang Yu. Now he only insisted on his own ideas. In fact, those ideas were constantly instilled in him by Zhuang Yu. If it were not for Zhuang Yu, things would not have evolved to this point."

Cong Xia gritted her teeth and said, "What exactly does Zhuang Yu want to do..."

Zhuang Yao said: "I think he wants to build a world he ideally is the dream of every scientist, but his most extreme."

"What is his ideal world like?"

"He told me when I was very young, but my memory system was not perfect at that time and I couldn't remember it very clearly. I only remember that he had always been very persistent in species optimization. He believed that the world should be left to excellent species to enjoy, and used continuous innovation technology to allow these people to live a completely automated life, and then they had time to create more valuable things for the world. He believed that those who could drive the progress of this world should enjoy the fruits of human progress, while lower groups were only worthy of serving these people. I am not his only clone. He tried many times before, but they all failed. Some clones have survived, but because of their lack of IQ, they were abandoned by him. He is such a lunatic."

Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "It seems that the arrival of the Doomsday Age is just in line with his intentions. He can use whether humans are mutant to distinguish between high and low."

Zhuang Yao's eyes showed a hint of chill, "So he was like a fish in water in this era."

"We must not let Zhuang Yu and Xu Ying succeed. I will send someone to explore his attitude from Commander Cao. Now let's go to District 2 to see what Zhuang Yu wants."

The crowd walked towards the second area.

This is destined to be a friendly meeting. Many of them have the idea of ​​cutting off Zhuang Yu's head after meeting, although they know that they can't do this.

Zhuang Yu obviously knew that they were coming and had already been waiting in the reception room for tea. When he saw them, he smiled in the spring breeze. The last kidnapping of Xu Hang lost a lot of face. This time he won a lot of money back, and he was naturally proud.

Zhou Fenglan sat next to him, crossing his legs and looking at them arrogantly.

Zhuang Yu smiled at Zhuang Yao and said, "Xiao Zhuang Yao, you seem to have grown a little taller. Seeing you is like seeing me when I was a child, it really makes me feel relieved."

Zhuang Yao said coldly: "Let's stop talking nonsense."

Cong Zhenzhong said seriously: "Zhuang Yu, the highest purpose of scientific workers is to use science to serve mankind, rather than using science to harm compatriots in order to achieve their own selfish desires. If you are still awake, stop."

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "It's strange. I have such a high IQ and I don't really understand what you are saying. You must be because you didn't explain it clearly."

Deng Xiao said angrily: "Don't pretend, you can release the cockroaches in the city."

Zhuang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any evidence? Don't think you can just slander people without paying a price. I have suffered from insomnia in order to stop these cockroaches."

Compared with Cong Zhenzhong who had suffered from insomnia on day and night, Zhuang Yu looked energetic and without any fatigue.

Cong Zhenzhong said in a deep voice: "You have a way to curb those cockroaches, so take them out quickly. Three days later, the next generation of those cockroach variants will be born. At that time, they will attack humans on a large scale. There are no more people left in Beijing. When do you want to mess around? 2"

Zhuang Yu said: "I said, I am working hard. Maybe I can research it in the next few days. Maybe it will take some time. Without a genome sequencer, a lot of work will be difficult to carry out. Besides, Feng Lan and I are stuck at the critical point of breaking through the second-order. This matter has seriously distracted me. Really, why are all the important and urgent things together?"

Cong Zhenzhong said coldly: "Tell me what you want."

Zhuang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Cong Zhenzhong, then laughed, "Professor Cong, you are always so rigid and cute. We have been fighting for more than ten years, and the winner is basically half the difference. However, it seems that this is the first time you begged me."

"I didn't ask you, I asked you to come up with a solution to the cockroach crisis."

"I said, I need a genome sequencer. Also, two weeks ago, I gave a list and asked for some experimental materials. You should prepare it for me. In addition, Fenglan and I want to break through the second level, and we need to borrow your Cong Xia to use it, so that I can do scientific research with peace of mind. Do you think so?"

"Genome sequencer is not a property of the third region. You should apply to the dean. We have never stopped any researcher from using it as long as he has a legitimate purpose."

"Ah, Dean? Are you talking about the dean who stays in the door and doesn't come out to retire in advance all day? What's the use of applying for him? The sequencer is placed in the third area. Every time I have a 'legitimate purpose' application, it is rejected, which seriously hinders my work. I now ask to move the sequencer to the C34 laboratory between District 2 and District 3, and the district mayor of each district will decide whether the researcher has the right to use it and make an appointment to use it according to the time period. Otherwise, Professor Cong, you are too arbitrary, right?"

"The dean prevents you from using it because you have created too many genetically modified people, and the success rate is extremely low. What you consume is not a guinea pig, but a human."

"It is precisely because I can use the sequencer too few times that I cannot improve the success rate. Who should I blame? I created genetically modified people to optimize genes and make more ordinary people mutants. Otherwise, what is the difference between those low-level people living and dead? It's not that they may die at any time. Besides, I didn't force anyone to participate in the experiment, and all the experimenters were voluntarily."

“Take food and medicine for their 'voluntary'?”

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Who told them that they are not capable of obtaining it themselves? This is the sorrow of ordinary people. They voluntarily accept this gambling. Those who succeeded and became mutants won. Not only did they live well themselves, but they also let the whole family have a meal. Isn't this everyone happy?"

Cong Zhenzhong gritted his teeth and said, "What about those 90% of the losers!"

Zhuang Yu shrugged, "I blame myself for being unlucky."

"you……"

Zhuang Yao pressed Cong Zhenzhong's shoulder, "Professor Cong, it seems that you have not had enough rest, let me say it."

Cong Zhenzhong's eyes were covered with red bloodshots, with blue and black eyes and messy hair. He looked like he was over-tired and his words and deeds were much more impatient than usual. In Cong Xia's eyes, he felt uncomfortable and angry.

While he was desperately studying new energy, new weapons, mutant seeds, and mutant poultry in order to change the living conditions of ordinary people and allow them to eat and wear warm clothes, some people did not take the lives of ordinary people seriously and did the so-called reconstruction work in a completely contrary to themselves. Cong Xia could fully understand the anger and helplessness in Cong Zhen's center.

Sometimes, Cong Xia felt that they were already very powerful, at least in terms of combat effectiveness, they almost had no real failure, but the existence of Zhuang Yu and Xu Ying repeatedly reminded them that having force alone was not enough to restore the world to normal. At least, when the force was not strong enough to overwhelm everything, they still had to give in to many disgusting facts and bow their heads.

For example, now, if they can continue to waste time with Zhuang Yu regardless of the lives of ordinary people, they may not be the ones that cannot withstand it first. After all, the method of safe breakthrough to the second level is in their hands, but they cannot, so they lost this round of competition with Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yao said: "Genome sequencers can be placed in the C34 laboratory, but they cannot be queued by appointment. For fairness, the time should be evenly divided into six districts. Each district can only be used for up to four days per month. Other times are used for the maintenance and rest of the instrument."

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Yes."

The first and second areas are basically controlled by Zhuang Yu, the third and sixth areas are Cong Zhenzhong and Tang Tingzhi, and the fourth and fifth areas are on the dean's side. There are few people who have evolved in the brain and have no real power. Generally speaking, the sequence meter is still Zhuang Yu and Cong Zhenzhong, and Tang Tingzhi and others use it.

"We can only prepare 80% of the test materials required on your list, and there is no more. As for you and Zhou Fenglan to break through the second level, Cong Xia can help you, but after you solve the cockroach crisis."

Zhuang Yu smiled and shook his head, "No, I want to do it right away."

Tang Tingzhi said expressionlessly: "There are only sixty hours left before the rebreeding of cockroaches. No matter what method you use to eliminate them, it will take time. You should eliminate cockroaches immediately."

Zhuang Yu said leisurely: "Okay, let's take a step back. You can help Fenglan break through the second level first. After he is successful and safe, I will take action."

Zhuang Yao and Cong Zhenzhong looked at each other, and Cong Zhenzhong said, "Let's settle this first, you will come to District 3 in two hours."

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "No hurry. Although I really want to help you, Commander Xu seems to have some agreements between Commander Xu and Commander Cao. It is not enough for me to nod, so Commander Xu also needs to agree. Therefore, I have to wait for Commander Xu's order to arrive first."

Zhuang Yao sneered, "Zhuang Yu, to be honest, I am quite similar to you. I don't care whether those outside who have nothing to do with me are dead or alive, so I am more calm than you. After all, I will never be me who breaks through the second level of explosion body. We can help all mutant people in Beijing break through the second level, but we will not help you. If this matter is delayed for three days, the mutant descendants of cockroaches will be born, and a large number of people will die. At that time, we will not help you. We will watch you and Zhou Fenglan fry them into minced meat. In order not to have this result, Commander Xu also needs you to do your work. Everyone is more rational, take their needs, and click whenever they click. If it is really uncontrollable, you can't get anything. Is it the result you want?"

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Well, everyone should take the needs, just click on it."

Everyone stayed in a hurry and left in less than twenty minutes.

Cheng Tianbi and Cong Zhenzhong decided to see Cao Zhixian again and discuss the next countermeasures. Zhuang Yao and Tang Tingzhi rushed to the laboratory with Cong Xia. They held a glimmer of hope, hoping to develop a method to quickly eliminate cockroaches. Although they all knew that time was too short, this was impossible to complete.

Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone felt breathing difficulties in the face of pressure.

At around two o'clock in the morning, Cheng Tianbi and Cong Zhenzhong came back. Their faces were not very good-looking, and they brought back a negotiation result.

Cong Zhenzhong said: "Tiantai Mountain Arsenal must not be opened to Xu Ying, and Beijing City must not be separated. The expedient solution is to temporarily agree to Xu Ying and take action after the cockroach disaster has passed. Commander Cao plans to send a batch of weapons first."

Zhuang Yao frowned and said, "Xu Ying is not so easy to deal with."

Cong Zhenzhong said: "I will be responsible for escorting the weapons."

Cong Xia suddenly raised his head, "Uncle Second, are you going to be a hostage? No! Absolutely not!"

"Xu Ying won't do anything to me. I'll solve the cockroach problem first, and you guys will save me."

"With the experience of kidnapping Xu Hang last time, how could he let us find you and take you away easily? Xu Ying doesn't know where he will hide you at that time. Second Uncle, this is not a good idea. Let's think about the others."

"No matter how many solutions there are, we don't have enough time. There are more than fifty hours left, and cockroaches will breed again. This also requires the time to help Zhou Fenglan break through the second level. We only have one day. What do you think you can do in one day? No matter what, Xu Ying will not kill me. Let's find a way out then, and it will be decided now."

"Then I'll go!" Cong Xia stood up suddenly, "I'll go on your behalf, and Xu Ying won't kill me."

Cheng Tianbi looked at Cong Xia with unfathomable eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Xiaoxia, I can handle this situation better than you. This is not the time to show off."

"Why are you able to cope better than me? Because are you an evolutionary brain? Then I have more survival ability than you." Cong Xia's voice trembled slightly, and she was unconsciously a little aggressive, "If you have to go, let me go."

Zhuang Yao said coldly: "No, Zhuang Yu must slice you and study it. He will discover the secrets on you. To put it bluntly, this is even more serious than Professor Cong's death."

Cong Zhenzhong said calmly: "It's settled, I'll ask someone to inform Zhou Fenglan now." After that, he left without looking back.

Cong Xia Dai sat back in the chair and couldn't accept this for the time being.

No one else said anything because he didn't know how to comfort him. Who can watch his last relatives take risks calmly?

Cheng Tianbi walked to Cong Xia, squatted down, grabbed Cong Xia's hand, and looked at his eyes seriously, "Cong Xia, do you believe me?"

Cong Xia stared at Cheng Tianbi in a daze, "Of course I believe you..." As he said that, his eyes turned slightly red and he gritted his teeth and said, "But why did you bring me such a solution?"

This was the first time Cong Xia spoke to Cheng Tianbi in a somewhat complaining tone.

"This is a temporary solution." After Cheng Tianbi said, his body suddenly shook, his limbs and head disappeared out of thin air, turning into a afterimage in the air, and then turned into a breeze. It seemed that most of his body had turned into an invisible and colorless wind.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

The next moment, Cheng Tianbi's body was combined into a human form again, "The elementalization of my body has reached 50%. No matter where Professor Cong went, I will definitely find him and bring him back. Believe me."

Cong Xia looked at Cheng Tianbi's deep eyes, and the stirring heart lake slowly calmed down. He took a deep breath, "Okay, OK."

Cheng Tianbi patted his arm, "You go to have a sleep now, I will supervise Zhou Fenglan. I will only need you in the end, and I will wake you up."

Since they returned to Beijing, they have been dealing with the mutated cockroaches without stopping, and they have not had time to take a break. It took more than 20 hours for Zhou Fenglan to break through the second level. Cong Xia felt that he could not bear it, so he decided to listen to the sky wall and go back to rest.

Zhuang Yao said: "Others go and rest, so I and Chengtianbi stay."

Everyone went back to their room to sleep.

Cong Xia took a shower and lay on the bed. After tossing and turning for a long time, she couldn't sleep.

The joy of returning safely from the Northeast has been completely dispersed. He should have known that there will be almost no safe days in their lives. Think about it carefully, although Mu Fei cannot leave the forest, their lives are comfortable and peaceful. Isn’t that the pastoral life he and Tianbi yearn for?
